Description
A high-protein, low-carb pizza crust made from cottage cheese and eggs—baked to golden perfection and ready for all your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (2%–4% fat)
2 large eggs
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp Italian seasoning
Pinch of salt
Pinch of ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix cottage cheese and eggs until smooth. Stir in garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and shape into a round or rectangular crust about ¼ inch thick.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and fully set.
- Cool for 5–10 minutes. Add toppings and return to oven for another 5–10 minutes until cheese melts.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Stir in shredded Parmesan or mozzarella for extra flavor.
- Replace Italian seasoning with taco or za’atar for different profiles.
- Divide into small rounds for mini pizzas and reduce bake time slightly.
- Use thicker cottage cheese or drain watery types to prevent sogginess.
- Let crust cool before topping to ensure structure.
